How do you change coil springs on 1992 1995 Honda civic?

<Important Note> Changing coil springs can be dangerous even with the proper tools. Raise and support your Civic. Remove wheel. Open hood or trunk. Remove any brake lines that are attached to the shock/strut assembly. Remove the 2 upper shock/strut nuts. <Important Note>DO NOT remove the center nut on shock/strut assembly as this will release the coil spring from the assembly. The result will be that the spring(which is still under pressure) can (and usually will) come flying out with a huge amount of force. Remove the lower shock/strut nut and bolt. Remove the shock/strut assembly from your Civic. <Important Note>You will now need a spring compressor tool which can be rented from your local retail auto parts store. When the coil spring is compressed, remove the center nut on your shock/strut assembly. Now you can safely remove the coil spring. Installation is the reverse of disassembly. <NOTE> These instructions only apply to OEM shocks/struts.

How do you change rear shock assembly's on a 1996 ford escort lx?

You have to take the whole strut assembly off (shock and spring). Then with a spring compressor on the coil spring, take the top nut off the strut shaft and take the spring off. Once the spring is off the whole strut assembly is replaced which will contain a new shock. Then you already have the spring compressed, so you put the old spring on to new strut (shock) put the top back on, release the spring and tighten the nut. You have to have a vise to clamp the strut into to replace the strut body.
